This May, South Africa will witness the return of one of R&B’s most iconic voices as Karyn White steps back onto local soil for an unforgettable, one-night-only performance that promises to stir hearts, awaken nostalgia, and celebrate timeless music at its finest.
Set against the grandeur of the Sun City Superbowl, the Magic Music Sessions will come alive on Saturday, 2 May 2026, in a show proudly presented by Vertex Events — and it’s shaping up to be nothing short of extraordinary.
A LEGEND RETURNS — AND THE MOMENT IS PERSONAL
For fans of classic R&B, Karyn White is more than an artist — she is a feeling.
From “Superwoman” to “I’m Your Woman”, her music has long been the soundtrack to love, heartbreak, empowerment, and resilience. Now, she returns not only to revisit those defining hits, but to introduce a new chapter with her latest release, “You’re Gonna Want Me Back.”
It’s a rare moment where legacy meets evolution — where a voice that shaped generations continues to tell new stories.
And on this stage, every note will carry history.
A NIGHT WHERE GLOBAL ICONS MEET LOCAL SOUL
But this isn’t just a comeback — it’s a celebration of musical excellence across borders.
Joining Karyn White is South Africa’s own Afro-soul powerhouse Vusi Nova, whose emotionally rich catalogue — including “Ndikuthandile,” “As’phelelanga,” and “Thandiwe” — continues to resonate deeply with audiences across the country.
Sharing the spotlight is the incomparable Lira, one of Africa’s most decorated vocalists, whose uplifting anthems like “Feel Good,” “Something Inside So Strong,” and “Rise Again” embody hope, strength, and triumph.
Bridging generations is rising star Babalwa M, bringing a fresh, soulful perspective with hits like “Phendula,” “Dali Wami,” and “eMakhaya” — a powerful reminder that the future of African soul is in good hands.
Adding to the night’s electric atmosphere, Kakanyo and DJ Nkosh will keep the energy flowing, ensuring the rhythm never fades.
MORE THAN A CONCERT — A MOMENT IN TIME
This is not just another night out.
It is a rare convergence — where international legacy meets local brilliance, where nostalgia meets now, and where music becomes an experience that lingers long after the final note.
Expect elegance.
Expect romance.
Expect timeless soul.
Because for one night, one stage becomes the meeting point of legends.
